Bai's Comment

In response to the EU conditions, Baini Marama said today:-

''The agreed commitments on the respect for democratic principles, rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms and follow up commitments are very much in line with the offer Fiji had made as part of its submissions for the consultations.''

Wait a minute. Did Baini Marama just say that his regime is committed to respecting democratic principles and the rule of law?

Then what the hell was 5/12?

And did he just say his regime was committed to respecting human rights and fundamental freedoms?

Come on Bai. Who are you trying to kid?

We still live under a state of emergency created by you.

People who speak out against you are still being taken in to QEB for "inciting" (although nowadays its done quietly so that the media doesn't get wind of it).

The military is still stopping LQ from coming to Suva to fight his case.

Lawyers who try to commence legal challenges against you are still being threatened.

The murder of innocent civillians by the military is being swept under the carpet.

Members of statutory boards are still being replaced without any explanation.

Just a few days ago, you and Driti were one step away from declaring war against the combined forces of USA, UK, Australia and NZ.

You can try to hoodwink the EU (although I don't think you'll succeed), but all the good people of Fiji know that your statement is as empty as your Government's coffers.

Please Baini Marama, just tell it like it is.

By the way, I found an old picture of you and Mahen in your younger days. Don't try to deny it!

Idiot of the Year Award

I know it may seem a little too early in the year to be handing out the IDIOT OF THE YEAR AWARD but I can't help it. We have so many potential winners out there…

…and the Nominees are:-

(1) FRANK B for promoting family values almost as much as he promotes family members.

Memorable quotes include:-

"This Army will protect the rights of all citizens of Fiji" (said just before they began a campaign of terror against the good citizens of Fiji);

"No one in the Army will benefit from this coup" (said just before he appointed himself Interim President and then Interim PM);

"My aim is to end corruption" (said just before he appointed his brother Timoci B as Census Commissioner).

(2) LEWENI (IG spin doctor and former military bandboy) for continuing to publicly comment on matters he has absolutely no knowledge on. Fiji's own Comical Ali.

Memorable quotes include:-

"We haven't really interfered with the media. All we have done with the media is getting them to report the truth."

"Human rights abuses in Fiji were relatively minor and international sanctions imposed after the recent coup have had little impact."

(3) SAYED KHAIYUM for making just about everyone else in the IG look like rocket scientists.

(4) COL. DRITI for being the IG's resident sadomasochist. Note however that rumours of his recent catfight with Frank B has upped his cool ratio with the general public, but not by that much.

(5) SHAISTA SHAMEEM for being the shyster that she is.

The ballots are in and the Winner is...
